Not another Paul Pogba! Man Utd set to hand new deal to teen sensation Andreas Pereira

NEW DEAL: Manchester United starlet Andreas Pereira will be offered a new contract [GETTY]

The 18-year-old was a shock inclusion in Louis van Gaal's squad for the comfortable victory over the Premier League strugglers last Sunday and he scored for United's Under-21 side yesterday in a development game against Sunderland.

According to reports United will hand Pereira a new contract to secure his future.

The teenager has less than a year left on his Red Devils deal and the club are eager to avoid losing him in a similar fashion to Paul Pogba.

Belgian-born Pereira made his first team debut in the disastrous 4-0 defeat to League One MK Dons in the Capital One Cup last month.

He signed professional terms with the club in January last year having joined the club from PSV Eindhoven in 2012.

The talented youngster is the son of former Brazilian professional Marcos Pereira and has represented Brazil's Under-20 side once.

United infamously lost Pogba to Juventus in 2012 after failing to agree a new contract.

He has since gone on to become one of the most sought-after midfielders in world football.
